DiPietro finished 130-136 with a 2.87 goals-against average and .902 save percentage, with 16 shutouts during his 11 seasons on Long Island.

The Islanders appear to be in the market for at least one goaltender and could very well trade for one or try to sign one once the free agency signing period starts on Friday.

Veteran Evgeni Nabokov, who is 38 and coming off a poor postseason, will reportedly test free agency, youngster Kevin Poulin is a restricted free agent and former Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas, a financial acquisition last season to help get the Islanders to the cap floor, reportedly announced Monday he will play next season. However, it is believed the Islanders will not toll his contract, allowing the 39-year-old to become an unrestricted free agent.
